I never heard of this place (don't know Waukesha at all), but turns out it is only a couple blocks away from my company's new office! The company just moved to Waukesha from New Berlin and I'm still trying to find my way around. Can't wait to try John's. Love me a good dog and root beer!

But in the case of John’s Drive-In, it’s simply another chapter in a saga that has endured almost four generations. The establishment has been a landmark in Waukesha since 1937, a place to get cheap and delicious food that has always maintained its focus on fresh preparation. </font></font> <br> <br> <font size="2"><font face="arial">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“We still make everything from scratch,” Meehan said. “Even the root beer, I still mix it myself. The sugar water and syrup in a 40-gallon drum. In the summertime, we do it each and every morning.” </font></font> <br> <br> <i><a href="http://activepaper.olivesoftware.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=Q1RGLzIwMTAvMDQvMjEjQXIwMDYwMw==&amp;Mode=HTML&amp;Locale=english-skin-custom" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="http://activepaper.olivesoftware.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=Q1RGLzIwMTAvMDQvMjEjQXIwMDYwMw==&amp;Mode=HTML&amp;Locale=english-skin-custom">Read the rest ...</a></i> <br> </blockquote> <br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m581586.ashxFindPost/581586Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:50:38 GMT
